Instant heat hot air curling iron

Abstract

There is provided a hair curling device having a handle and a barrel. The handle having grippers, an LED lens and being adapted to house a motorized fan assembly and PCB assembly. The barrel housing a heater that extends the entire length of the barrel and having at least one vent therein. Heated air from the heater is drawn through a heat sink and through the at least one vent in the barrel. The heated air from the at least one vent facilitates in drying and styling hair.

         1 . A hair curling device, comprising: 
 a handle having a hollow cavity for housing a motor, a fan and a ventilator;    a heating element; and    a barrel connected to said handle and having a plurality of apertures therein for permitting air heated by said heating element to escape.    
     
     
         2 . The hair curling device of  claim 1 , wherein said handle has at least two control switches.  
     
     
         3 . The hair curling device of  claim 2 , wherein said at least two control switches include a first “ON” switch and a second “OFF” switch.  
     
     
         4 . The hair curling device of  claim 1 , wherein said handle has at least one gripper.  
     
     
         5 . The hair curling device of  claim 1 , wherein said handle and said barrel are in axial alignment.  
     
     
         6 . The hair curling device of  claim 5 , further comprising a plurality of tines protruding from said barrel for engaging hair.  
     
     
         7 . The hair curling device of  claim 1 , further comprising a PCB board housed in said handle and adapted for transferring power to said motor, fan and heating element of the hair curling device.  
     
     
         8 . The hair curling device of  claim 1 , further comprising an insulator positioned between said handle and said barrel.  
     
     
         9 . The hair curling device of  claim 1 , wherein said ventilator partially surrounds said fan and directs air into said barrel over said heating element.  
     
     
         10 . The hair curling device of  claim 1 , wherein said heating element is made of mica.  
     
     
         11 . The hair curling device of  claim 1 , wherein said heating element spans an entire interior portion of said barrel.  
     
     
         12 . The hair curling device of  claim 1 , further comprising a variable temperature controller for adjusting the heat produced by the hair curling device.  
     
     
         13 . The hair curling device of  claim 1 , wherein said handle has a plurality of grippers.  
     
     
         14 . The hair curling device of  claim 1 , wherein said handle has a momentary on/off switch.  
     
     
         15 . The hair curling device of  claim 1 , further comprising a temperature sensor.  
     
     
         16 . The hair curling device of  claim 1 , further comprising a thermal cut-off mechanism.  
     
     
         17 . The hair curling device of  claim 1 , wherein said handle has at least one heat sink.  
     
     
         18 . The hair curling device of  claim 1 , wherein said barrel has an air baffle.  
     
     
         19 . The hair curling device of  claim 1 , wherein said barrel has a corresponding clip pivotably attached thereto for receiving and holding hair close to said barrel.  
     
     
         20 . The hair curling device of  claim 19 , wherein said clip has a lever that when a user applies force to said clip moves away from said barrel.  
     
     
         21 . The hair curling device of  claim 20 , wherein said lever has a grip.  
     
     
         22 . A hair curling device, comprising: 
 a handle having a hollow cavity for housing a motor, a fan and a ventilator; and    a heating element    a barrel connected to said handle and having a plurality of apertures therein for permitting air heated by said heating element to escape; and    an insulator positioned between said handle and said barrel.
